i say thunder bird any day, unless the grand prix was forced induced. then it might stand a chance. i dont think the regal has much to offer from that era <but leave it to someone to prove me wrong>.

Regals and GP'* weren't supercharged until 1997, so I assume we're not comparing them?

those 4 banger turbo t-birds went that slow with a few turbos mods they could be made decently quick and a 302 almost drops right in. i know cuz my friend did the same thing and he is currently selling due to his brother smashing it.
